Pros

Free food. Free booze. Looks good on the resume for recruiters who don't know the truth.

Cons

Temporary product leadership was super toxic. Platform going down the drain. Cloud going down the drain. Security product going down the drain. SVPs infighting/politicizing and trying to grab as much RSU's as they can.

Pros

Great compensation and time off. No micromanagement. Great product that's known for its strength and solid brand

Cons

Lack of definitive direction with Cisco and old and outdated game plan. Competitors have caught up and sometimes surpassed Splunk leaving Splunkers looking for a new strategy; very small territories, incompetent hires in some management roles
